Understanding the Landscape Silhouette Lighting Technique

Reflective landscape lighting Houston, Texas

Silhouette lighting is a technique that can add a dramatic effect to landscape lighting designs. It is often overlooked and underused, despite its potential to enhance the overall look of a landscape. While direct lighting techniques, such as up-lighting and cross-lighting, are popular, mixing in silhouetting can make a significant difference. To create this effect, the light fixture is placed between a shrub, fountain, or medium-sized tree and a hard-surfaced wall, typically the home’s front face.

Exploring the Enchantment of Landscape Lighting with Moonlight Technique

Exploring the Enchantment of Landscape Lighting with Moonlight Technique

by | Apr 11, 2024 | Landscape Lighting, Landscape Lighting Services, Moonlighting Effect, Outdoor Living

Landscape lighting design is more than just functional; it’s a way to create ambiance, mood, and enchantment. The moonlight technique is a popular method used by landscape architects and designers to create a captivating, warm glow that resembles a moonlit night. Instead of harsh, direct lighting, this approach uses gentle pools of light to highlight the landscape’s key features while preserving the nighttime’s mystery and tranquility.

However, not all trees are suitable for moonlighting. The tree must have ample height and branches and foliage in abundance. These Specialty fixtures are installed 30’–50’ into the tree canopy with the light spread downward, casting light through the tree structure, and creating an array of shadows blended with light. The result of this technique is like a bright full moon shining through your trees, even when there is not a full moon!

In conclusion, landscape lighting is a powerful tool for sculpting space, eliciting emotion, and enhancing the look of your property and gardens.
